Dear Jody and Charris,
I just learned of dear Walter’s passing. I grew up in Salisbury and knew “Brother Bradshaw” as I called him. I remember him always with a smile and a kind word. May Jehovah wrap you both in his loyal love and may we all keep looking forward to the wonderful future where Walter and so many other faithful ones will be welcomed back into paradise. Praise Jah 💜
Sending much love to you!!
